Minus a few stars, life inside the NBA bubble is officially underway.
While coach Mike D’Antoni got medical clearance to join the NBA bubble, Houston Rockets stars James Harden and Russell Westbrook did not join their team en route to Disney World on Thursday.
The pair will arrive at the bubble “in the near future,” Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes reported. Why they didn’t travel with the team is unclear.
Head coaches cleared
All 22 teams have arrived or are en route to Disney World as of Thursday night to prepare for the bubble league scheduled to tip-off on July 31, according to Haynes.
